I've made them before using the water-slip decals. They turned out real cute, at least they looked great before I sprayed them!

My directions said to let the decals dry on the mug and then spray with clear acrylic spray. I was in a hurry and sprayed before they were completely dry and they didn't look good so I scraped the decals off. LOL I will look for my directions for you.

Where do you get the water slip decals? And how did you make the coffee mugs? Inquiring minds want to know? :o)

MaryAnn - would those be very durable? I have only used my water slip decals on stuff that isn't to be washed. I supposed they would take a light hand washing.

Jane, I buy my waterslip decals off eBay. Make sure you get the kind for your printer - inkjet or laser. I have included a link for Bel Decal. I use the clear decal paper. The Bel Decal site has some great info.

One side note - I had to trim 1/4" off my decal paper to get it to go through my printer without jamming...it may just be the brand though.

See my "candle" post to see a picture of a water slip decal on a candle.

Thanks for the info, Garden Girl! :o)

GardenGirl, I think you are right about light hand washing for the mug.
I also bought my clear water-slip decals on Ebay, but mine fit just fine in my printer. It probably is the brand.

There are mugs made of two layers of plastic so that they snap apart, and you can insert a photo, cross-stitch picture, etc. between the layers.

See link below for a picture of some that were bought (not really made to be snapped apart, but they did!) that some computer crafters found at a dollar store.

And they have a couple links to non-dollar-store suppliers!

Note that in order to be really waterproof you need to seal the seam with something like silicone stuff.

Well, I tried the two links on the CAC page, one worked, one didn't, so I did a little googling and found the one that didn't. Here are the two pages with the "Snap-In" mugs...

Mugs at EDPS

Mugs at Wacky Wagon - scroll waaay down to see them.

P.S. Lots of good computer crafting supplies at both sites!
